PipeWorx Welding System Issued Aug. 009 Index No. PWS/.0 Multiprocess Pipe Welding Systems Quick Specs Pipe Welding Fabrication Process Piping Refinery Petrochemical Power HVAC and Water Pipe The Power of Blue. Simple Process Setup Clearly labeled controls in easy-to-understand welder terminology. Requires just a few basic steps to set up a new weld process, resulting in less training time and minimizing errors from incorrect setups. The front panel was designed by welders for welders. Only backlit controls are adjustable to eliminate confusion. Memory feature stores programs for each selection: Stick, DC TIG, and MIG (left and right side of feeder). Beneficial when using multiple procedures, multiple process parameters or multiple welders and eliminates the need to remember parameters. Quick Process Changeover No need to manually switch polarity or cables and hoses between processes. Simply push a process selection button to choose a welding process. PipeWorx Quick-Select technology automatically selects the welding process, the correct polarity, cable outputs and user programmed welding parameters. Quick process changeover eliminates set-up time for switching cables and gas hoses. Also, reduces the risk of weld reworks due to incorrect cable connection.

Welding Process Capabilities The PipeWorx Welding System provides standard welding process programs (detailed in the table below), specifically designed for the welding of carbon steel and stainless steel pipe. The MIG-Modified Short Circuit (RMD ) Programs and Pro-Pulse MIG Programs are synergic programs designed specifically for combinations of wire type, wire diameter and shielding gas. The power source is shipped with typical weld parameters for pipe welding. There is a means to reset the power source back to the typical weld conditions (factory settings). Synergic welding programs can only be adjusted within a range of acceptable wire feed speed to prevent operation in an unstable arc condition. This promotes weld quality and simplifies set-up.

Improved Arc Performance RMD (Regulated Metal Deposition) A precisely controlled short-circuit metal transfer that provides a calm, stable arc and weld puddle. This provides less chance of cold lap or lack of fusion, less spatter and a higher quality root pass on pipe. The stability of the weld process lessens the puddle manipulation required by the welder and is more tolerant to hi-lo conditions, reducing training requirements. Weld bead profiles are thicker than conventional root pass welds which can eliminate the need for a hot pass, improving weld productivity. In some stainless steel applications, it may be possible to eliminate the backing (purge) gas to further improve productivity and reduce welding costs. Current Wave Form RMD Ball Transfer <- Wet -> Pinch Clear Blink Ball Background Pre-short RMD Carbon Steel RMD Stainless Ideally suited to root pass welding Consistent side wall fusion Less weld spatter Tolerant to hi-lo fit-up conditions More tolerant of tip to work distance Less welder training time Thicker root passes can eliminate hot pass Eliminate backing gas on some stainless steel applications Pro-Pulse This method of pulse welding provides a shorter arc length, narrower arc cone and less heat input than with traditional spray pulse transfer. Since the process is synergic, arc wandering and variations in tip-to-work distances are virtually eliminated. This provides easier puddle control for both in-position and out-of position welding, reducing welder training time. The process also improves fusion and fill at the toe of the weld, permitting higher travel speeds and higher deposition. This process coupled with RMD Pro for root pass welding permits welding procedures with one wire and one gas to eliminate process switch-over time. Ideally suited to fill and cap pass welding Easier puddle control than conventional spray pulse Shorter arc lengths and narrow arc cone for out-of-position welding More tolerant of tip to work variation Improve fusion and fill at toe of weld Less heat input reduces interpass cooling time and improves weld cycle time Enables one-wire with one-gas weld procedures Pro-Pulse Carbon Pro-Pulse Stainless
